"cicada's electric, in the heat of the day..."

Actually, kind of, yeah. My most vivid memory of them is from a road trip my family took down in Colorado. They buzzed for miles. It was beautiful.

We should get together and watch the movie "Lucas" to celebrate!

(If you haven't seen it, just trust me that this isn't a major non sequitur.)

We should get together to celebrate period. I miss you.

[ece_drihten]

Please do. I have plenty more comics, too.

Is it really time for them again already? It feels like just yesterday or at least not 17 years ago.

Next year... I think "seventeen years" is a bit of an exaggeration on the part of some romantic scientist. I remember calling them "seven year cicadas" growing up for that reason.

Interestingly enough, next summer I will have lived in this area for 17 years.

that makes so much sense. There are a lot more of them in Ohio this summer than the past few years and the last time there were a lot were the first couple years after I moved to Ohio, 17 years ago.

So, logical conclusion is you and I bring cicadas?

[starburst8213]

yes, I think so
